Would having a dietitian in the dormitory be helpful?

Question 2

How might universities help new studentsespecially those from foreign landsadapt more easily to college eating?

Answer to Question 1

A registered dietitian (RD) would be able to explain normal, healthy dietary practices and offer reassurance. A RD may also help the student with the transition by encouraging him/her to try different foods and provide guidance in the development of individual healthy eating patterns.

Answer to Question 2

During orientation to the university foodservice system, the foodservice managers can introduce the new students to the variety of foods available and offer to receive any suggestions for change during the course of their college experience. In addition, the foodservice system can create a brochure of healthy eating tips and resources that is easily accessible to every student.
